Showa Koi

This 4-page article is about the "Showa" variety of Japanese koi.  Showa koi are typically called "black fish with red and white markings."  This is because the Showa koi's base color (the color of the belly, the mouth, and the base of the pectoral fins) is black.  Words like "Powerful, Heavy, and Magnificent" are all commonly used to describe the Showa koi's appearance.
